Barbara’s Bio

Dear Family,
I am a very caring and conscientious nanny/family assistant with many years of excellent references and a teaching background. Safety is first, of course, and developing a nurturing and stable relationship for the children, then I support or bring in any appropriate activity for fun and learning as per their personalities. I have diverse experience and I research constantly to bring in the best activities and information. I have had wonderful relationships with many children/families and have a sense of humor and fun. Because of my very healthy lifestyle I have lots of energy and am available long term. I am a professional (this is what I love to do, not a side profession that resulted from losing some other job). I know busy parents also need assistance and I am a cheerful, flexible and reliable team player. It is my goal to be the best nanny/family assistant a family could possibly have, and I bring many years of experience and skills to the table.
I am a good driver with a clean record and a reliable car, am up to date with CPR, First Aid and immunizations including whooping cough, and am good with pets and housework.
Thank you.
Barbara
